I sent the AI reviews out just in case, main reason I'm dropping this
from pw is the new sparse build warning here:
drivers/net/ethernet/renesas/rswitch_main.c:1015:23: warning: cast to restricted __le64
drivers/net/ethernet/renesas/rswitch_main.c:1015:23: warning: restricted __le64 degrades to integer
